Knowing that I wanted to build a deck based around guildgates, I looked into what options a 5C deck could leverage. An Explosive Vegetation and a Phyrexian Arena for guildgates are really tempting to build around. The 2 cards that made me want to build with guildgates are Circuitous Route and Guild Summit. With the help of Circuitous Route and Guild Summit can a 5 color to deck built around guildgates do any good this Standard season? Let’s find out! This time their reintroduction came with a few new tools that care about guildgates. Guildgates are the budget land of choice for many deck builders, and it is great having them back in Standard. With the return of Ravnica, comes the return of guildgates. I will be streaming this deck at noon MST on Saturday, October 13th. But if you have the wildcards (or cash) or already have the cards for the deck, it's a blast to play and shockingly competitive!Īnyway, that's all for today.5C Omniscience Decklist: It’s Tuesday O’Clock! Time for a Deck Tech The only drawback is that it's also super expensive pretty much everywhere, coming in at $440 in paper and having nearly 60 rares and mythics on Arena. Plus, the deck is just super sweet and built around a lot of really cool cards that haven't really seen much Standard play.
If we can make it to the point of the game where we can start casting The Kami War, ,] and The Prismatic Bridge, it quickly becomes hard to lose. While the deck does sometimes get off to slow starts and has the potential to be overrun early, I was surprised by just how powerful the deck felt and how well it played. So, should you play The Kami War in Standard? I think the answer is yes.Battle of Frost and Fire and Burn Down the House let us clean the board with just one card, which is huge in these matchups. Killing all of Esper's planeswalkers one by one or even just getting through two copies of Mob Nixilis is almost impossible without falling super-far behind. The power of Battle of Frost and Fire and Burn Down the House is that they can typically sweep away not just a board full of creatures but also planeswalkers as well. There are a ton of planeswalkers in Standard right now, with Esper overloaded on The Wandering Emperor, Lolth, Spider Queen, and Kaito Shizuki and many aggro and sacrifice decks trying to put multiple copies of Ob Nixilis, the Adversary into play on Turn 3. The other part of the deck that I really like is Battle of Frost and Fire and Burn Down the House.Thanks to The Celestus and Courier's Briefcase, it isn't uncommon that we're casting The Prismatic Bridge on Turn 4 and getting our first Titan of Industry on Turn 5. This means that once The Prismatic Bridge hits the battlefield, we're incredibly likely to spin into a free Titan of Industry each turn, which is unbeatable for most decks. Our deck has only six total creatures: two copies of Esika, God of the Tree (and considering The Prismatic Bridge is Esika's backside, if we play a The Prismatic Bridge, we'll have at least one copy of Esika out of our deck) and four copies of Titan of Industry. That said, my favorite backup plan is The Prismatic Bridge.
Many of our Sagas end up in the graveyard naturally, while Fable of the Mirror-Breaker lets us loot to fill our graveyard, which means Spirit-Sister's Call is usually pretty insane by the time it comes down, to the point where adding another copy or two to the deck might be worthwhile. For one, we have a one-of Spirit-Sister's Call to loop our various enchantments (and sometimes Titan of Industry) from the graveyard.
The deck also has a couple of really interesting backup plans.The goal of the deck is pretty straightforward: ramp into The Kami War using cards like Binding the Old Gods (which is much more powerful as fixing now that we have Triomes to tutor up with its second ability), Courier's Briefcase (which is also a solid source of card draw in a five-color deck), Azusa's Many Journeys, and The Celestus and trust that the double removal plus eventually big body of The Kami War will be enough to win us the game, which it often is.While losing to Esper might seem like a vote against The Kami War, in reality, I feel like I lose to Esper no matter what I play, so I'm not sure it really makes a difference. Actually, we played Esper Control four matches in a row at one point, and I just scooped the last two in game one for the sake of my sanity and diversity of matchups.) In total, we went 4-0 in non-Esper Control matchups and 0-2-ish against Esper. (The second loss was another matchup versus Esper Control that I didn't bother to include.
